VRangers Kalsubai by Traverse Route

Overview

Kalsubai lies in the Sahyadri mountain range. This being the highest peak, it commands beautiful & picturesque views. The highest peak in the world is “Mount Everest”. Likewise, Kalsubai is the highest peak in the Sahyadris in Maharashtra.

Base Village: Udhavne.

About:
It is said that Kalsubai name is taken from a Koli girl named Kalsu.' Kalsu, according to the story, was fond of wandering in the forest. One day she came to Indor at the foot of the hill now called Kalsubai, and took service with a Koli family on condition that she should not be asked to clean pots or to sweep. Matters went smoothly till, one day, one of the families ordered Kalsu to clean some pots and clear away some Utter. She did as she was bid, bat, immediately after, climbed the hill and stayed on its top till her death. Where she cleaned the pots is known as Thale Mel, and where she cleared away the litter as Kaldara. The hill is a natural stronghold about ten miles south-east of Igatpuri, the nearest railway station. Its top is a cone with room only for a small shrine and a trigonometrically survey cairn. There is a large lower shoulder without remains of buildings, and the absence of water cisterns shows that the hill was never used as a fort.

VRangers One day trek from Nakhind to Peb Base Via Traverse Route on dt 30th Sep 2018

Overview

Nakhind Trek in Matheran Range is one of the few scenic treks which is close to the city, yet secluded not frequently visited, the charm of being one of the few to have experienced this trek in its full monsoon glory, along with the commanding views from the top and the roaring winds, is guaranteed to leave you mesmerized. 

The summit, which takes about 2 hours to reach, has a unique structure, a hole (“Nakhind”) in the dilapidated fort, due to which the wind sometimes makes a whistling sound! It is a beautiful feeling to sit inside this natural phenomenon and enjoy the lush green mountains and landscapes of Matheran.

What’s more is that your trek ends with a small gushing waterfall where you can laze and de-stress after the long tiring journey even the route passes through wild growth and has a steep gradient after the peak of Nakhind.
